Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing consumption,
severe coughs, Group, asthma, pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case, and we consider it the
duty of all druggists to recommend it
to the poor, dying consumptive at least
to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported.
Such medicine as the German Syrup
cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about il. Sample bot
ties to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular
size, IS cents. Sold by all druggists
and dealers in the United States and
Canada.

ROOsts for Fowls,

There Is no advantage In placing perches
one above another, stair fashion, in the
hypotenuse Of n triangle. II they be
thus arranged the distance Of the perches
from each Othor must be measured on the
base of the triangle, from the fact that the
droppings fall perpendicularly. They
should be far enough apart to avoid soil
ing of plumage.
lfthcrc Is no economy Of space In this
arrangement, there Is no argument for 1t.
Fowls will jump from the lowest perch to
the next, and so on to the highest, and
then quarrel. They all want the highest
place. 1t Is preferable to have the .perches
placed on level, and the platform to
catch the droppings. 1t may be just high
enough to be handy in cleaning, and the
pcrchcs about one foot above 1t. All
pcrches should lie movable, so as to facili-
tate the application Of kerosene, when
necessary to every part.
Pcrches should be ut least two inches
wide and rest firmly in a slot or mortise
Fowls will cling to one edge of wide
perch, and the width will give opportunity
to rest the weight ON the shanks. A very
narrow perch makes it necessary to bear
tile weight on the breast bone, mainly in
one spot, and thus It becomes bent to one
side. This deformity is caused, in many
instances, by roosting on the chine OF q
barrel, or on the small limbs of trees. Old
fowls have their bones hardened 80 that
they will stand the pressure without bend
ing, but all should have wide perches.-

Orthochromatic Photography.

Orthochromatic photography, which is now
becoming an important branch of the art, is
not, as many suppose, photography in colors,
but rather photography Of colors. II, ex-
plains Popular Science News, an oil painting
is copied in the usual manner all the yellow
tones, which to the eye appear light, will be
more or less dark in the photograph, while
the darker blue tones will be nearly white.
This is due to the fact that the blue rays are
accompanied by much larger proportion Of
actinic or chemical rays than the yellow. By
covering tho sensitive plate with certain
auorescent bodies, among which eosine and
erythrosine have given the best results, the
length or character of the waves of colored
light arc SO changed that they ara photo
graphed with their proper gradations of light
and shade. By this process most beautiful
effects have been obtained. The softness and
delicacy of the shading is such that it re-
sembles rather crayon drawing than pho
tograph; and, as the process has only re-
Gently been made practical, it is probable
that even greater success will be obtained
with it in the near future.

The FIRST STEP FOR SIX YEARS.
A Marvellous. ii not Miraculous Cure.

with the hope that Dr. Gage, Of a6 West Thirty first
street, New York, the author Of SO many wonderful
in this section, might reach her case. At one Of
his visits Montpelier, few months ago, Mrs. Tur-
ner consulted him and received encouragement. The
patient could be carried Montpelier after
fully Considering the case the Doctor iocided pre-
scribe without seeing her. His direct ms have been
faithfully followed and under the treatment she has
steadily gained from the first. The natural feeling
soon returned to her limbs and she walk with
but little assistance, and her parents are naturally over
ioyed at the prospect Of complete restoration Why
Dr. Gage should have such remarkable success, even
without seeing the patient is mystery, to say the least
We have no theory to advance but simply give the
plain facts and leave our readers to draw their in

We published the above several months ago. The

The ORIGIN Of Cinderella.


There is no fairy tale that is better known
or more enjoyed by young readers than the
story of the poor little cinder girl, who was
so i'll treated by her cruel sisters, had such a
delightful godmother with a magic wand,
and was so lucky as to lose her pretty glass
slipper, only to gain prince and become
princess thereby. A writer in The American
Agriculturist tells the origin of this favorite
fairy tale. I,
Cinderella's real name, it seems, was Rho
dope, and she was beautiful Egyptian
maiden, who lived $40 years before the birth
Of Christ, and during the reign of Psam-
meticus, one Of the twelve kings Of Egypt
One day Rhodope ventured to 60 in bathing
in a clear stream near her home, and mean

unusually small, lying on the bank. An
eagle, passing above, CHANGED to catch sight
of the little sandals, and installing them for
toothsome It'd bit, bounced down and car
ried off one in his beak. The bird then un-
willingly played the part of fairy god
mother, for, flying directly over Memphis,
where King Psammeticus was dispensing
justice, it let the shoe fall right, into the
kings lap. Its size, beauty and daintiness
Immediately attracted the royal eye, and the
king. determined upon knowing the wearer

As in the story of Cinderella, the mes
sengers finally discovered Rhodope, fitted on
the shoe, and carried her in triumph to
Memphis, where she became the queen Of
King Psammeticus, and the foundation of
the fairy tale that was to delight boys and
girls z, 400 years later,
